CT attack of the monster the frightened fish ermen got out their long oars and rowed the junk as rapidly as possible from the place. How they reached the Potrero shore the men can hardly remember. They told the tale to their countrymen, and intense was the ex- citement that followed and varied the com ments regarding the strange sea devil which had taken off Tux. Many of the 1atter's friends believed that Tux had escaped and swan ashore. Then search was made for his body in the water and along the beach. The affair has aroused the superstitious fears of the Chinese. They fear that the monster may visit them again. The lopped-off arm was thrown overheard by Tuk's comrades, as they really believed it was section of the evil one. Probably the Queen, &c., will be burned as a sacrifice to the devil that visited her and spirited away her owner.
 If the statements of the Chinese fishermen are accurate, the monster could have been nothing else than an octopus. These creat- ures, however, generally frequent tropical waters, and it seems strange that one should have found it's way into this bay. The Chinese say that strong odor was apparent when the arm was severed. This is the characteristic of the octopus. It is seldom that anything which the suckers in the tentacles of an octo- pus attach themselves to gets away, so it looks decidedly as if Tux was ''no more," as the Chinesa think

Practical Cattle Raising.


 The most successful way to raise Jerseys, or any other fine breed of cattle, is to cross the common breed with locomotive. This has been accomplished in Americus with flat tering success as the following will clearly show: A wide-awake citizen purchased 8 little measly calf recently, paying s3 therefor, which he justly considered full value for the | bovine. A few days afterward, as the calf was grazing upon the railroad track, it was run over and killed by a passing train, | whereupon the dlsconsolate owner put in a claim for $40 against the company, which was paid. Anyone owning pasture along tune in this manner, and this simple means of ''improving" common stock is rapid as it is certain

A NEW PUZZLE.
How a Little Girl Told Her Love in
 an Original Way.

How a Little Girl Fold Her Love in an Original Way.
 From the Christian Weekly.1
 Mrs. Blanchard was entertaining some friends in the parlor one evening, when she heard small voice she knew so well saying: ''Please excuse me, mamma" Then she saw a little figure standing in the doorway in white gown, with tangled curls and bright eyes, too bright for ten o'clock at night, thought Mrs. Blanchard. Midget ran across the room to the refuge that had never failed her-mothers arms. Mamma, dear,' pleaded the little night owl. ''I just learned to-day how to tell you love you in such a beautiful new way. Please, may show youl Pm so 'fraid I'll forget by morning." Mid get held up her dimpled fingers. "Now ly. "Hold your thumbs together so, now the next fingers the same way, but the next to that you must double in tight"
 She held her chubby fingers in this posi- tion, the palms together, the thumbs lightly touching, also the forefngers, but the second fingers folded in so that her rosy nails and the dimples that stood for knuckles touched, then the third and the fourth fingers met at the tips as the thumbs and forefngers did. "Now," cried Midget in great delight, Chow far can you go from nurse?' and she parted the thumbs as far as they would go. "Now how far from cook?" and the forefngers went apart.
 Then in suppressed glee she carefully ex- plained, "You must skip the folded fingers and go to the next. Now how far can you go from your dear, sweet mammal" she cried in great triumph. And odd it was that those queer little fingers would not separate, and the more you tried the closer they were, moi Midget's tiny fingers, but papa's strong ones and Judge Mills wrinkled ones. As long af the second fingers are held in bondage the third ones will not separate. Try it.

Francis A. White, who lives at BrookliEe, one of the suburbs of Boston. MT. White said to the colored man that he really had DO objection to let to colored people So long as they were respectable, and told him to see Messrs. French, the agents, on Washington street. These gentleman were seen by the colored applicant, but they had no idea of renting to him, but kept putting him off.

 It is not generally known that camels,
 both wild and tame, are found in Texas, yet such is the fact, and some of them will be on
 exhibition at the State fair at Dallas this fall.
 The first of these animals were brought to the
 State by the government in 1852 to test their
 usefulness in crossing the American desert to
 California. They came from Arabia and
 were the ancestors of those now in the State. The great interest in the issue between progressive and conservative in the Ameri- can board is shown in the fact that the at tendance of corporate members at the Spring field meeting is larger than at any previous meeting in the boards history. There are IA present; the nearest previous approach to this was 129, and at the celebrated meeting at Des Moines there were but 89. The whole number of corporate members is about 220. An Alaska Indians confession of faith is thus given:
 1st. God is the boss of us fellers and of every man all.
 2d. God loves us fellers and every man all
 Sd. I feel in my heart that love God. I love my brother, my sister. every man all. 4th. wish every feller loved Jesus. Then they good; no bad, no fight.
 This is plain and simple. More and bigger words have contained less faith. M Peligot, an eminent French chemist,
 has made an interesting discovery. Most | bottles, says M. Peligot, are well made and | worthy of receiving good wine, but France
 is inundated with bottles of foreign manu-
 facture whose name is abomination. In the good old days, when soda and potash formed | the basis of bottle glass, wine improved by keeping; but now that glass, like everything else, is adulterated, the best vintages are liable to be spoiled. Materials that are large | ly ferruginous are constantly employed in the manufacture of glass for bottles; and | upon these constituents the acids in the
 wine act very powerfully, with the result
 that the liquid becomes impregnated with @ solution of rnagnesia or what not. The moral which M. Peligot draws from these circum-
 stances is that the lover of good wine who
 does his own bottling should safeguard his
 stomach by paying high price for his bot l ties.
 The color line is not confined to the South.
 It is conspicuous even in Boston, the home
 of Garrison, Sumner and Phillips. The Bos-
 ton correspondent of the New York Freeman
 writes: Colored people in Boston continue to
 experience no little difficulty in renting de- cent tenements in desirable localities. Some
 of the real estate owners and agents who re-
 fuse to let them are Republicans and old
 abolitionists, who declare that as such they
 could have no prejudice against eolored peo- pie, "but the neighbors," say the cowardly

CATARRHAL DANGERS.

To purchase immunity from such fate should be the object of all afflicted. But those who have tried many edies and physicians despair of relief or cure.
